I got to know about this a few years back when a make -up artist used it on my face .. I was literally transformed! I cudnt tell if it was my face looking back at me in the mirror . This is thee best professional make-up there is and I've been using for a long time. Some might say its too heavy for everyday use but that depends on how much you use. I use a little over a well moisturised face and a little does go a long way. It gives me that flawless look that really makes people take notice ;) I make sure I dampen my make-up sponge first as I find it smoothes on better this way. I usually don't use a setting powder because I find I don't need too,although it is usually recommended. This lasts me almost a year even with regular use. So well worth it!
